Ten minutes is actually a longer time, not a shorter one, for an erection to last once intercourse begins, especially for younger men. But even if he lasted a half hour, it’s unlikely that you’d feel satisfied with intercourse alone or reach orgasm that way, since the majority of women do not. Your…

I had an abortion in my early twenties. It was not easy to afford. I was working 60 hours a week, in a fledgling business with a lot of overhead expenses. I was fresh out of a college education I had paid for myself, and was also caring for a parent at the time. There were no resources through public health in Chicago I could use to help with the expense. My partner was pitching in for half, but all the same, coming up with four hundred dollars was an additional struggle during an experience which was already challenging without any financial issues at play.

As we’ve said again and again and again, the majority of people with vaginas do NOT reach orgasm from vaginal intercourse alone – and never have – and many do not find vaginal intercourse to even be all that arousing or satisfying. There’s nothing to “fix” when it comes to that – our anatomy, on…

If you’ve already spoken to her about your concerns and directed her to some resources for more information, there’s really not a lot more you can do when it comes to your friend. I would, however, suggest that you check into the age of consent in your state, since very few states have an age of…

In the last week, a congressional committee began – finally!

A person who has a strong ethical or religious conflict with having any kind of sex, or sex in certain scenarios – such as being unmarried, if they feel sex is really only right in the context of marriage – is very likely to have that inhibit their sexual response. As well, it’s very normal for…

The next thing to do after a family member says that to you is simply to acknowledge what they have disclosed and honor that it can be scary to do that – such as by saying something like, “I’m glad you felt safe telling me about your bisexuality.” You can also reassure them that until they’re ready…

It sounds to me like this is really about you more than it is about him. The person having trouble with his history right now appears to be you, and that’s the person who I think needs to work through this. In other words, you say he won’t open up about this, but I’m not sure I can envision what you…

While some doctors may choose not to see children or adolescents in their practice, period – because they just don’t specialize in that group – it sounds far more likely your stepmother was simply being dishonest with you. If her doctor was someone who chose only to see adults, he or she most…

One of the more interesting (and by interesting, I mean ridiculously ignorant) responses I have seen in a few places discussing the I Was Raped project and my input was my statement on the news that the first time I was assaulted – at the age of 11 – I did not know what had happened to me and was without any language to even express it. This is being met with some measure of disbelief by a few folks, or the assumption I was on drugs or had been drugged or that I was simply stupid.
